What a load of... marbles!
« on: March 31, 2007, 09:15:28 PM »
I'm wondering if any of these marbles are worth anything?

They're probably nothing special. Are they perhaps 1920's American?

3 pages, all marbles...

Some are smaller/larger than others but most are the normal size.

Thanks, Tony.

ah Tony.... I always look at the marbles. Can I tell the difference, even though I magnify up the pages that talk about the direction of the twist, the shape of the core, the inclusions, the shape, the size, all of the above.....
can I heck...

But this looks a useful hint page of things NOT to buy...

Thank you very much!

So there are different directions in the swirls? This is deeper than I thought.  :o

Thanks for that page, Wirepull's, hmmmm?
